It's the sheer hypocrisy of the US! It was the US that started this war in the first place and now that the proxy war has gone pear-shaped, the US has dumped the entire mess on the EU with the UK as the stalking horse (a lame one) So now, all the pundits come out of the woodwork. The nerve of it, it's breathtaking! So Europe is the proxy in the guise of NATO, which is really the US. So now, the UKEU picks up the pieces left by the US and of course, these gangsters got away with it all because of the total complicity of the state/corporate media that did the lying! As ever, it's the Russian and Ukrainian people who paid the price with their blood!
I worked in the G8 (finance/civilian force structure) HQ USAREUR/HQNATO CENTAG from 79 to 2000. In mid 90’s my immediate boss served on the select panel analyzing US Army presence in Germany. It reccomended that, “time to go home”! Albright, Wolfowitz , Kohl, Bush and Clinton, overrode the Nat Cmd Structure and we stayed. I knew Bundeswehr officers almost in tears because of the massive drawdowns taking place in the FRG as hundred of units were deactivated and the FRG demilitarized. The so called “peace dividend”. As a civilian I was deployed to V Corps HQ in Hungary during the fist NATO expansion. In 2015 Bundeswehr units appeared in NATO exercises carrying painted broom handles instead of firearms. NATO, having never fired a shot in defense of Europe, was now the mechanism by which the US could wage war directly or through proxies without permission from congress. We controlled NATO and abused its members, Exception being France, having withdrawn its forces from the NATO military arm APE, Allied Powers Europe, under De Gaulle. BUT, YOU CANNOT CHEAT AN HONEST MAN! and the Europeans were fully complicient. We expanded eastward, breaking our promises to Russia, moving ever closer figuratively and literally to this moment in time. The Europeans could have stopped this a any time by stepping up and funding their own defense. Now it may be too late as they have no alternative to the C4ISR controlled by the US and absolutely essential to modern war. If the Ukraine couldn't stop Russia (Ukraine had the largest, most powerful army in Europe and it has been rebuilt 2x times on the fly) what hope do the Chihuahuas of western Europe have. One final note: Our foreign policy has been largely managed by Eastern European Jews since Albright; the current crop include the Kagan, Nuland, Vindman cabal; all Ukrainian/Americans with connections to the Banderites. Poor Ukrainians; not so much. The Ukrainians have the government they deserve and those who don't deserve it are pretty much now under the protection of their fellow Russians. Rootin for Putin.

Try to make sense of the transcript which will be littered with things like George Beebe appearing as 'George BB', and Glenn Diesen appearing as 'Glenn Diesel' (any Russian or Ukrainian words will just appear as gobbledygook, like Zelenski appearing as 'Senski' even though he is completely lacking in any senski)
Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance. ISR is what has changed the most in the last 20 years. Satellites and high altitude planes, drones and now these small FPV drones have made secretive maneuver virtually impossible; thus the Russian have totally stopped massing their troops. Each time the UAF have attempt to stage/assemble a large concentration, the Russians have destroyed it before it could attack.
Big serge has a really good analysis of the changing nature of modern war.
The thing is, the EU apparatchiks KNOW these narratives were manufactured for political purposes by the previous globalist US administrations and they KNOW they are false. They are largely globalists themselves, hence their disdain for "populism", i.e. democracy, and their ongoing support for these narratives, and for which antidemocratic impulses their own voters are rejecting them en masse.
We can't keep running around calling them stupid, mistaken, "captured" etc.
They KNOW.
They also know that the parties in conflict talking to each other is the only way that wars end. Their insistence that nobody talks to Russia is an explicit demand that the war continues.
They're the rulers of Europe; there's no excuse nor any real possibility that they don't know these things.
«…. hence their disdain for "populism", i.e. democracy….,»
There you are spreading a false narrative yourself.
The EU mis-leaders dislike actual democracy, yes. That’s mainly because they are fakes co-opted and seeded by the US deep state. Not actual real leaders of local political movements.
However the likes of Trump, the AFD are not at all “populists”. What they are, are demagogues. Anti-populists. They aim to split people and pit them AGAINST each other, not bring them together. They do this to destroy democracy from the inside out.
Your thinking is logically incoherent. You attempt to reframe the context of an issue from something you don't like (Trump) to something you prefer (divisiveness), which simply breeds more divisiveness. People such as you always fail to understand that one man's unity is another man's divisiveness.
That you believe you are offering some kind of magic third way does not make you more moral, more perceptive, nor more intelligent.
Not sure where from does it come the notion that Russia must negotiate and accept anything from the Westworld. In fact short of full capitulation of Ukraina with Russia being the security guarantor, there is no other long term security for Russia and no certainty that someone libleftard after Trump may not reverse and undo all Trump has done.
Even the esteemed CIA agent is caught in the web of the same narrative "Russia must this and Russia must that". The war is lost and Trump is actually aptly trying to find an exit which will not be a total disaster for US, throwing the retard EuroUtopia under the bus, deservedly. Russia is actually doing a favour to Trump by engaging in talks, much, much more than doing the favour to itself to end the SMO swiftly and earlier. They do not need to do anything except command the terms of capitulation.

thanks; i'll try that.
You're welcome
What's C4ISR?
Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance. ISR is what has changed the most in the last 20 years. Satellites and high altitude planes, drones and now these small FPV drones have made secretive maneuver virtually impossible; thus the Russian have totally stopped massing their troops. Each time the UAF have attempt to stage/assemble a large concentration, the Russians have destroyed it before it could attack.

He writes wonderful historical narratives from a mostly technical aspect.
The thing is, the EU apparatchiks KNOW these narratives were manufactured for political purposes by the previous globalist US administrations and they KNOW they are false. They are largely globalists themselves, hence their disdain for "populism", i.e. democracy, and their ongoing support for these narratives, and for which antidemocratic impulses their own voters are rejecting them en masse.
We can't keep running around calling them stupid, mistaken, "captured" etc.

They also know that the parties in conflict talking to each other is the only way that wars end. Their insistence that nobody talks to Russia is an explicit demand that the war continues.
They're the rulers of Europe; there's no excuse nor any real possibility that they don't know these things.
In sum; they're evil.
Deal with it.

US's proxy against Rusia, Ukraine, has failed.
So try new one.
European Union is the New US's proxy against Rusia.
